5 QUICK-FUN TWEETS:
* Itβs Thanksgiving Day, so weβll make this quick, fun, and insightful!
>> [ think BIGGER! ]
Weβre trained to think procedurally β with a step-by-step mindset. Instead, start to think on what it means to scale exponentially.

Speed does not mean fast. Running feels awesome! But a nice walk outdoors can be just as fantastic too!

1 QUICK-FUN IDEA:
* A new take on Search & Discovery.
This past week, someone posted the following:
π€ Cure boredom: This website will take you to a random livestreamer who has no other viewers.
****
The concept behind this form of discovery is hilarious. It is quite literary the opposite of everything that Google is optimized for.
That said, itβd be great to see more of these types of mechanisms in the wild β where people can still bring attention to smaller and not-at-all-viral content, products, ideas, and ways of thinking to the masses.
Cheers!
Have a great Thanksgiving Day! π¦
And see you again next week! π
